The Process
Welcome to Heraldic Weavers™.
Step
One
You go to
our online store click here if you would like to go their now or use the buttons to the
left.You choose the product you want for instance a single family crest on a tapestry
throw or two crests on a tapestry throw( very popular as wedding or anniversary gifts) .Or
you may want to have a tapestry throw made with a photograph on one side and a crest on
the other or just have your favorite photograph woven into a throw. Once you have decided
you move on to step two.
Step
two
If you are
purchasing a tapestry throw with a family crest or with two crests or a photograph and a
crest then you can choose from the five different designs ranging from very ornate to
simple.You should indicate the design you want when at the online checkout. If you are
just getting a photograph woven on it's own then you skip this as photographs are woven
without any design round them unless with a crest.Please see the instructions for
photographs below.**Please note if when we
research your crest we find that the mantle of the crest, (which is the outside portion of
a crest) is dark then the black frame won't be suitable. We want your tapestry to turn out
absolutely stunning so in that instance we will email you your crest and ask you to choose
one of the other four designs.

Step three
The coat of arms is then
meticulously digitized piece by piece by us using state of the art software and
powerful computer programs to transform your coat of arms into a format that our
computerized looms can recognize.The tapestries are hand finished and everyone is a
true work of art.Each tapestry throw is individually woven on a loom utilizing over eight
miles of richly colored cotton yarn.The detail is truly amazing click below to get a
larger view of some of the detail.
Our tapestries are 100% jacquard
woven cotton and are not printed.Your tapestry throw will not fade even with
repeated washing,we do suggest that you machine wash on gentle or hand wash and then
tumble dry on low..You truly will have a new family heirloom to hand down from generation
to generation. In approximately four weeks you will receive your beautiful new tapestry
throw.At times you will receive your tapestry quicker but *at
busier times you should allow at least six weeks for delivery.So please be aware of that
if ordering one of our tapestries for a special occasion.
Step
four (for people ordering a tapestry with a photo)
You will receive a receipt email
from us which will give you the email address or physical address to send your photograph
to. You can use any photo you like but the simple rule is the better the photograph is the
better your tapestry will turn out.It must be less than 1.5 mb in size if being emailed.
Size :Any photo will work once it is at least 5x7 and also complies with the
simple rules below.If taking a photo with a
digital camera make sure it
is at least a one megapixel camera as otherwise the image will not be of high enough
quality to use.
Contrast : Your photo should have good contrast.A black dog on a black couch will not
yield very good results and could
end up being a bad tapestry.Equally so a
white dog in snow will not work well either.If your main subject is brightly lit and
the background is somewhat darker then the results should
be excellent.Please avoid dark shadows on the face or subject.
Focus: Make
sure your subject is sharp,the better the focus the better your finished piece will be.
Colour : We
can do black and white but as above and below the same rules apply as regards
brightness,focus etc
Composition
: Keep it simple try to make sure your subject occupies 60 to
80% of the photo.It is not absolutely necessary but again it will make for a
better photo to use.You can use a few faces or objects but the more you try to fit in the
less likely the fact it will turn out a good tapestry.
Copyright : No
copyright photos accepted unless you have the copyright owners written permission.
